* difficulty at the end of installation of fc4 @ Jeremy R Schmidt ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Jeremy R Schmidt @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hello everyone. Since fc4 doesn't talk during installation, I installed over telnet. Now, when it asks to reboot, I press alt and f2, but nothing happens. Apparently, my telnet program is not sending the alt key over the telnet connection. Is there a way to do this? I'd like to be able to turn firstboot off, etc, but don't know how to do this. Thanks, Jeremy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Are you following the steps in the installation HOWTO? It tells you how to do this after booting. It involves going into single user mode. Also, you should be able to Ctrl-Z to a shell prompt from the reboot screen.

I looked at the single user mode stuff, but that seems like it would be hard to use as well since I wouldn't have speech. Is there a way to make speakup run after booting into single user mode? What do you advise? Is there a way to telnet in remotely to install the kernel RPMS and stuff like that? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@rednote.net> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 11:54 AM Subject: Re: difficulty at the end of installation of fc4 > Are you following the steps in the installation HOWTO?

Well, it's always harder without speech, of course. But, until you install and configura a Speakup MOdified kernel, you're not going to have speech anyway. In that sense single user mode is no different from multi-user, networked mode. Do you have ssh on the computer you used for speech during your telnet install? If so you can do: service network start from the shell prompt in single user and ssh in. Ssh should be up and running, but if not, service sshd start will do it. I presume you put pcspkr in your initrd.img? If so, you'll have the beep from backspace at the command prompt to give you useful feedback. And, you can alarm ping some other machine: ping -a [ip.address] If you don't have ssh, you should probably use your installation media and go into rescue mode so that you can again use telnet. At the Boot> prompt you would do something like: text rescue telnet ip=[addr] netmask=[addr] gateway=[addr] Jeremy R Schmidt writes: > I looked at the single user mode stuff, but that seems like it would be hard > to use as well since I wouldn't have speech. > > Is there a way to make speakup run after booting into single user mode? > > What do you advise? > > Is there a way to telnet in remotely to install the kernel RPMS and stuff > like that? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@rednote.net> > To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 11:54 AM > Subject: Re: difficulty at the end of installation of fc4 > > > > Are you following the steps in the installation HOWTO?
